Unforeseen and certainly unintended, the Tobago Festivals Commission Limited regrets to confirm that renowned reggae artiste, Mark Myrie, best known as Buju Banton, has been forced to postpone his performance in Tobago this Easter.

The artiste, in a dialogue with organisers of the Rhythm and Soul Festival, being hosted this Easter weekend, humbly requested compassion and understanding as a close member of his team confronts a very dire health matter- someone he acknowledges as ‘family.’ “Trust and believe that your love and support, your admiration, has been overwhelming over the years and we plan to make it up to you. Nothing is more important and nothing is more vital than health, so right now I am in the throws fighting for a good friend’s life,” said the artiste in a video statement. He assured that fans in Trinidad and Tobago will see him soon.

Arrangements for a rescheduled concert featuring the artiste, in Tobago, are forthcoming.

In the meantime, organizers, cognizant of the importance of ensuring patrons’ complete satisfaction this Easter holiday weekend, have moved swiftly to guarantee a memorable show, regardless. “We are happy to announce that Stephen Marley, the son of the legend himself, Bob Marley, will be blessing us with his presence on the island, on April 20th,” said Kern Cowan – CEO of the Tobago Festivals Commission.

“When presented with Buju’s situation, there was no way we could not show compassion. Health and family are priority to us all. How could we ignore what Buju is facing at this time? We understand, so we have moved to ensure that the Tobago Rhythm and Soul Festival delivers the same level of positive energy, upliftment, affirmative musical expression and love. This will ultimately be a show nobody should miss,” said Mr. Cowan.

From April 17th to April 20th, the island of Tobago comes alive with the sounds of Gospel, Jazz, Reggae and Soca music. Nigerian gospel singer, Sinach, headlines ‘Melodies from Heaven’ on Holy Thursday and on Saturday, April 19th, international artistes, Jon Secada and Brian McKnight will be joined by Trinidad and Tobago Soca star, Mical Teja, delivering the perfect balance of music to serenade the masses at Buccoo Seafood Jazz.

Fusion closes off the long holiday weekend on Sunday, April 20th at the Dwight Yorke Stadium with Gramps Morgan, Wayne Wonder, Kes The Band, Singing Melody and now, the incomparable, Stephen Marley – a powerful voice in the Marley dynasty.

“We understand that some patrons would be disappointed that Buju Banton is unable to be with us at this time. For those desirous of refunds, the option is available. Tickets may be returned to outlets where purchased for a full refund. We however anticipate that this will still be a weekend of performances not to be missed, and will provide memories for the masses for a lifetime.’ said Cowan.
